Wittly by ClassworksTM, a TouchMath product offering, has been named a Silver Winner by the Best in Biz Awards 2024 in the Best New Feature of the Year – Small or Medium Business category. The Best in Biz Awards is the only independent business awards program judged yearly by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.
“Being recognized with a Best in Biz Award in the category of Best New Feature validates our fundamental belief that AI-powered personalization can transform how teachers reach every student,” says Jerry Henley, TouchMath’s VP of Technology for Classworks. “Wittly represents a significant step forward in making individualized instruction scalable and accessible for every student, regardless of their learning style or language preference. By leveraging safe, responsible, and innovative AI practices, we're helping teachers meet the needs of all students while maintaining high academic standards."
Wittly is an AI-powered teaching and learning assistant that leverages AWS Bedrock and Anthropic’s Claude large language model (LLM) to personalize learning experiences and increase teacher capacity. Wittly addresses the challenge of personalizing learning for a class of students with diverse learning needs in three ways:
1. Differentiated Instruction: Wittly tailors explanations and support to each student's learning style at their interest level and preferred language. This ensures a deeper understanding of concepts and fosters independent problem-solving.
2. Increased Teacher Capacity: By providing students with on-demand explanations and guidance, Wittly frees up valuable teacher time so they can focus on small group instruction and provide more individualized support.
3. AI-Powered IEP Tracking: Wittly is the only AI-powered mastery measurement assessment solution on the market. Through AI and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) machine learning, Wittly generates custom skill probes for IEP monitoring, saving hours of work.
Since 2011, Best in Biz Awards winners have been selected by judges from leading North American media outlets across news, business, technology, and trade sectors. The diverse panel of editors and reporters brings extensive expertise to evaluate hundreds of competing entries objectively.
“Each year, our judges face the challenge of determining winners among equally compelling entries with varying strengths, poring over details and analyzing minute differences to find out who has had the edge,” said Best in Biz Awards staff. “A true sign of a Best in Biz Awards winner is the positive impact they have in the world – the benefits they bring begin with their employees, impact their clients, and fill the local and global communities they operate in.”
